These are some of my favorite places.

Los Angeles, CA

Los Angeles has been my home since 1997. This huge city offers endless possibilities to those who seek out whatever they want to do. While the social culture may be best described as "disconnected," the lack of long established cliques and groups allows an individual to re-invent his or her life as often as needed. In addition, Hollywood's influence creates an aspirational, artistic environment.

Finally, Los Angeles is home to the Mother Center of Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF) and to most of its Western temples. SRF has been a significant part of my life since 1987. Below are pictures taken at my temple, the SRF Lake Shrine in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles.

Medicine Wheel, WY

Medicine Wheel, WY is perhaps the best preserved example of a Native American religious site in North America. Many disagree about the multi-layered purpose of the Medicine Wheel but the peace and joy felt at the site is undeniable.

If you are driving across the Bighorn Mountains on a warm mid-summer's day, take the time to hike up to this spectacular location.

Boston, MA

Not just the location of my alma mater, Boston University, this city has a range of activities and a depth of cultural resources unmatched by any city of a similar size in the U.S. It is also the best college town anywhere. Period. Copley Square is pictured at left.

If you have not visited Boston yet, what are you waiting for?

Enjoy getting outside in the sunshine? You might run into me hiking around the wilderness of the Santa Monica Mountains located at the NW corner of Los Angeles.
